DUNURE COMMUNITY COUNCIL
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY 18 MAY 2010 IN KENNEDY HALL, DUNURE, AT 7.30PM
SEDERUNT:
Mr Phil Findlay(Chair); Mr Roy Storie(Treasurer); Mrs Jean McGinn, (Secretary) Mr Andrew Guthrie; Mr Adam Montgomerie; Mr Rod Kruse.
IN ATTENDANCE
: Councillor Sandra Goldie; Mrs Thea Petticrew, P C Derek Aitken.
APOLOGIES Mrs Dorothy Ward.
2. Adoption of minutes for meeting of Tuesday 20 April 2010
Proposed by Mr Rod Kruse, Seconded Mr Roy Storie.
3. POLICE REPORT
: Police report advised of the theft of an outboard engine from harbour. No suspects at this time. On 13 May road traffic accident near Dunure Mains. Minor injuries.No other incidents of note. P C Aitken was asked if there was anything further on the truck which parks in the lay by at Cemetery early mornings, but police have been unable to have a word with this driver. Also if anything has been done about the problem of a helicopter landing in the Kennedy Park, as we are concerned about the safety aspect of this.
4. COUNCILLOR’S REPORT
: Councillor Goldie reports things are just settling down after the election and hopefully will have something to report by next month as to how things will move forward. She was advised of the poor condition of Station Road at the turn adjacent to harbour. The whole surface is breaking up. Councillor Goldie again mentioned the lack of funds for road repairs, but will do what she can.
5. LINK OFFICER’S REPORT: Mrs Petticrew confirmed staff for the toilets will soon be in place.
Shrubs at Carrick Place will now be cut back twice yearly by the Council. The fence from Dairy to harbour has been reported to Roads Department who will have a look at this.
It was mentioned that the contractors who were attending to raw sewage in park had used the grassed (where bench is sited) to park their equipment, and Mrs Petticrew will contact Alan Ferguson from Scottish Water to make sure this area is left as it was found.
Mr Findlay mentioned that the multi-play area had one or two breaks in the surface which might cause users to trip. Mrs Petticrew will get someone along to have a look.
6. PAST CHAIRMAN’S REPORT:
Mr Montgomerie reported that there were not so many big issues over the past year, the main concern being the application from Balig for a large holiday park. This is now in the hands of the Scottish Parliament, and we await the result of the Appeal which will be held sometime in June. Thanks must go to Councillor Goldie, Mrs Petticrew, and all the members of the Community council for their commitment and work over the year. Mr Montgomerie wished Phil all the best and hope he enjoys his time as Chair. He also thanked Mr Storie for the excellent administration of our finances, and Mrs McGinn for all her Secretarial work.
7. MATTERS ARISING
Labyrinth: Mr
Guthrie still in the process of looking for funding for fence. Mrs Petticrew has suggested there may be a better route for the steps away from the cliff edge and this may be worth looking at.
Sewage in Kennedy Park:
This remedial work is almost completed.
8. FINANCIAL REPORT: Mr
Storie submitted the Audited Accounts which leaves a bank balance at end of the financial year of £32.24 (Plus Petty Cash Balance of £16.14).

Road sign needing repaired at top of Station Road.

Mr Guthrie reported the hedge on left of Kennedy Drive going up hill adjacent to Arran View which is overhanging the pavement so much residents are having to walk on the road.
